Does ebook-viewer (of calibre) render fonts msbm correctly and how?

SuiVu1fa · 11-27-2018, 08:11 AM

I compiled a tex code by tex4ebook, and it seems to me that the symbol ⊈ is not rendered correctly by ebook-viewer in calibre. I write a test code and use htlatex to compile it into html (see the code below), and load it with ebook-viewer. It seems to me that the piece of code

Code:

<span class="msbm-10">&#x2288; </span>

is not rendered correctly, seemingly a font configure problem. I changed the font from DejaVu Serif to something else, the problem remains.

However, firefox and FBReader render it properly. I wonder how to fix it. Thanks for suggestions.

renders fine for me, what OS and version of calibre?

Debian Linux (Stretch)
Calibre 2.75.1.
Edit: I updated to 3.31, the issue remains.

The EPUB file and screenshots are attached. wrong.png is the effect of rendering of calibre, and correct.png is the effect of rendering of FBReader. It is not easy to spot, but it will lead to a syntactically opposite meaning.

I would like to see whether it is due to a mistake of configuration, or a previous bug which has been fixed in the latest version.

this is what it looks like on my linux system:

make sure you are running th eofficial calibre binaries and not the debian package.

The ⊈ ( ⊈ ) glyph looks pretty much the same under Windows 10, Mac OSX Mojave and OpenSuse Tumbleweed on my system.
